[结构分析]
第一、二句指出一种语言的衰退归根结底是由政治和经济因素引起的,不能简单地归咎于个别作家的负面影响,但这些影响也不容忽视,它们也会引起语言的衰退。
第三句到第六句举例说明了语言和思维的相互作用。
最后三句指出现代英语的学习有很多恶习,如果人们愿意不辞辛苦地改正,就可以避免这些恶习。处理掉这些恶习,思维就会更清晰,最终就会达到政治复兴的目的,因为思维清晰是通往政治复兴的第一步。所以与英语学习中的恶习做斗争并不无聊,也不只是专职作家要关心的问题。
【试题分析】
economical→economic。本题考查形容词辨析. economical意为“节约的;省钱的”,而economic意为“经济的,有关经济的”,前面的political暗示此处要用economic。
